Scholarship / role of women changing in lifetime, Why should i be awarded this scholarship? [3]

I'm good at writing essays on other topics, such as "How do you see the role of women changing in your lifetime?" But i can't figure out how to start this essay strongly, with an interesting intro!

I tried everything and everything seems boring to me. I need help with any suggestions of how to start it off. Can you help me?

This how I began my intro, but i am not satisfied with it:

Nothing in the world is comparable to enrolling into a prestigious institution of higher education.
Since childhood, I have always been a pupil of great potential and academic ability. Learning something new each day would always fascinate me, and I would constantly enhjoy the times of reading a book under a tree, in my backyard, to my younger brother Steve.
